After several experimental attempts, the attendance rate of the performances performed by Gu Nanqiao was particularly outstanding compared to other performances, and even the reputation of the performance of the entire troupe hit a new high, which surprised the three old artists of the Iron Triangle.

The hardcore opera fans in the spring garden are nothing more than the old people in the neighborhood, everyone listens to a little song after tea and dinner, and then walks home in groups to enjoy the cool weather, which is one of the few small pleasures in their ordinary and monotonous life. Probably because of the leisurely life, they have watched almost all the plays in the spring garden, and the occasional novelty naturally can't escape the audience's tricky ears, and they don't hesitate to give a few words of praise.

The subtle effect of the previous few years has been imperceptible, Fan Lingchu's acceptance of drama reform has increased, and the ordinary and informal Li Hetian has said "Qiao Yatou's idea is good, I think it should be promoted and promoted", blowing the wind in his ears, and the Peking Opera reform in the spring garden has been practiced with great fanfare.

During that time, what Fan Ling heard the most at the beginning was the praise of his apprentice from the surrounding audience.

"Hey, Lao Fan, is this your little apprentice, yes, the hero is a young man, and he sings really well. ”

"I said Boss Fan, let Ming'er let your daughter sing with your apprentice to open the eyes of our big guy...... Having said that, your family is so promising, and Qiao Yatou sings so well, you can not worry about it in the future. ”

"This little girl is really good, I look at it, sooner or later, the blue will come out of the blue. ”

......

Such good news, of course, also reached Xiao Fangran's ears.

She was happy for Gu Nanqiao in her heart, but she didn't reveal any such emotions, probably because she felt that Gu Nanqiao deserved these achievements, and her level should be like this. And Xiao Fangran taught Gu Nanqiao his kung fu at the bottom of the box without reservation, relying on a solid basic skills and theoretical foundation, and under Gu Nanqiao's unique aura and understanding, it brought new possibilities.

In this way, it has been a few years, Gu Nanqiao's performance has become more and more mature, she has integrated her understanding of Peking Opera into her performance, and the good ideas she gave have completely made the troupe develop in a better direction, and she has been quite outstanding in terms of artistic attainments.

Now, Xiao Fangran has to admit that Gu Nanqiao has a unique style in many places.

She's already, enough to be a teacher.

Thinking like this, Xiao Fangran's tone softened after all.

"Since you became an adult, I have rarely interfered with how you and Brother Fan run this troupe, especially in the last year, what have I done to you? It's not interesting to talk too much, you have your own ideas, and you may not listen to my persuasion, and in the end, ...... I'm willing to let you try it yourself. Okay, spring is full of gardens, and you can toss as much as you want. But I don't bother to care about small things, the general direction can't be wrong after all, so the selection is very important, you have to reassure your mother. ”

probably knew that it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong on some issues, and there was no point in fighting those oral lawsuits, Xiao Fangran picked up the teacup and smacked it lightly, and actually took the initiative to loosen his mouth and gave Gu Nanqiao a step.

This sentence is an understatement, but it is quite rare in this mother-daughter relationship. For a proud person like Xiao Fangran, the slightest concession is a very rare thing, it seems that Gu Nanqiao's empathy and reason have really worked, and she is indeed willing to understand her daughter.

After a short silence, Xiao Fangran changed her words and continued.

"I just said halfway through the phone, I came here in the middle of the night, and I didn't talk to you about it. Let's get down to business, I have already arranged how to prepare for this "Old Dream Project", you listen to your mother tell you - the little son of the Su family has been investigating the old things of the year for half a year, and the children of the Feng family have exerted pressure, which can be regarded as helping us. Recently, Mei's family has been in a lot of chaos, Mei Hanqiu has become more and more unable to sit still, and Old Man Mei is worried that the things of the year will be turned over, and he didn't give her too many good looks...... Especially recently, the movement has become bigger and bigger, and Old Man Mei has put the matter of determining the heir of the Mei family on the agenda. ”

Gu Nanqiao pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and began to quickly weigh the current matter in his mind.

The battle within the Mei family was obviously more fierce than she expected, and Old Man Mei's attitude and Mei Hanqiu's panic also verified the severity of the situation at the Jingyao Grand Theater from another angle, and the entanglement behind it was far deeper than she expected. Therefore, whether or not you can get first-hand evidence is even more important to Su Yiyang.

This gamble is inevitable.

And when Gu Nanqiao's heart was full of thoughts, Xiao Fangran also said the key point, she held Gu Nanqiao's hand with her backhand, and the coolness of her fingertips was transmitted in wisps, and when the skin intersected, it turned into a faint heat source. The quartz clock on the wall was still ticking and turning, Gu Nanqiao and Xiao Fangran put each other's purpose on the table, and when all the detours and exchanges faded away, this sudden conversation in the middle of the night became completely sharp.

Xiao Fangran's beautiful eyes looked at Gu Nanqiao fixedly, and her tone became more and more excited.

"So, Qiaoqiao, this time, as long as the movement of the Spring Garden is big enough, and you can stand up completely inside, Old Man Mei will definitely have a clear attitude. Feng Tan and Chu Youyou, and even Brother Fan, they have many opportunities in the future, but we are different, for decades, there is not a day when I no longer look forward to returning to the Mei family, and this time nothing can go wrong, you know?"

Hearing Xiao Fangran talk about this, Gu Nanqiao didn't hesitate anymore and went straight to the point.

"Mom, this "Old Dream Project", I have my own plans, what should I do, I will discuss with Su Yiyang and several seniors of the troupe. I will inform you after the selection of the repertoire and the performance are confirmed, as for the artistic quality, you should know that I care about this selection very much, and I want this troupe to make achievements more than anyone else. If someone wants to do something that is not good for the spring garden, I will not agree to it first, anyway...... The end result won't disappoint you. ”

Xiao Fangran's beautiful eyes full of autumn water narrowed slightly, and a glance was hooked from the end of her eyes, the unhappiness and sarcasm in her expression were almost impossible to hide, but the preachy words were clearly on her lips, but she was forcibly held back by Ms. Xiao.

If it was in normal times, Xiao Fangran would definitely not let Gu Nanqiao finish his words, and he would sneer and sneer without delay. But the exchange just now finally worked, she took a deep breath to calm down, and actually restrained her usual temper, trying to make her tone sound calm.

"Come on, Jojo, tell me, what are your plans?"

"I plan to hand over the initiative to Su Yiyang and try my best to cooperate with him...... In other words, this "Old Dream Project", Su Yiyang's position is my position, and I will stand on his side and unconditionally support what he wants to do. ”

As Gu Nanqiao's words fell, Xiao Fangran immediately sneered as if she had heard some joke. Her eyes looked at Gu Nanqiao from top to bottom, not letting go of the slightest trace of her emotions, as if she was carefully distinguishing whether she was saying something casually or seriously.

And when Ms. Xiao realized that her daughter didn't have any jokes at all, she couldn't help but be aroused, and all the good temper she had tried to restrain came to naught.

"Qiaoqiao, are you so brainless in love that you can't even think normally - listen to what you said, you are just angry with me tonight, and you don't want to talk about a good result, right?"

As if expecting Xiao Fangran's anger, Gu Nanqiao didn't show too much panic, just quietly listened to this reproach, and then continued unhurriedly.

"Mom, don't be angry, don't you want to hear my reason?"

"Oh, the reason...... When you say this, in addition to being fascinated by love, what other reason can you find, is it possible that you still plan to reverse right and wrong with me, and forcibly break the truth?"

Xiao Fangran suddenly suppressed her smile, those beautiful peach blossom eyes were still beautiful even if she was old, and the subtle lines at the end of her eyes seemed to precipitate the beauty of time, without making her beauty discount in the slightest.

"Earlier, I always heard a few words of singing, and I didn't understand the meaning of it - the shyness of the scholar can still be taken off, the shyness of the woman, you can't say it, it turns out that someone is so stupid, and it is actually my Xiao Fangran's daughter....... In order to get the approval of the Mei family, I have been working hard for dozens of years, and when you actually want to hand over the initiative to your little boyfriend, what position did you put your mother in?"

Xiao Fangran said these words unceremoniously, and the anger that she had barely endured was completely out of control at this moment, and the questions were like sharp knives, suddenly cutting through all the whitewashing. Emotions are always hurting others and hurting themselves, and many words are sharp knives that hurt others, although they hurt a thousand enemies, they also hurt a few or eight hundred, the listener is intentional, and the speaker is uncomfortable.

Gu Nanqiao didn't see any embarrassment on her face, she picked up the teacup from the coffee table, poured out the tea that had been cooled, filled a new cup of water with her own hands, and brewed it again. During the whole process, she did not have any impatience in her movements, and she carefully added leaves and water according to the process of the tea ceremony, as if relying on this process to calm down, and also gave Ms. Xiao, who was dominated by anger, enough time to calm down.

The air with a faint tea fragrance is permeated, and the light West Lake Longjing has distinct roots, floating in the clear yellow tea soup, with a hint of bitterness in the aroma, but it is enough to taste the sweetness of the aftertaste. After finally finishing all this, Gu Nanqiao handed the teacup to Xiao Fangran, and then sighed uncheckably, almost calmly explained.

"Mom, listen to me..... What happened to the Jingyao Grand Theater back then, you are half an insider, of course you know the grievances between Su Yiyang and the Ji family. The battle between Mei Hanqiu and you has been entangled for dozens of years, so comparing hearts to hearts, Su Yiyang and Feng Tan are two bloody lives, how can they not care? In the past six months, the Spring and Color Gardens have been constantly building momentum, forcing the Ji family to avoid it, just enough to use this "Old Dream Plan" to let Ji Guangfan show his feet, how can I not help him?"

"That's why you're making wedding clothes for others? Jojo, you're so selfless, who will think of you?"
